Job Description:


We're hiring Backend Engineers to help kickstart our new development team in NYC. The main focus will be to optimize virility by encouraging send out behaviour and optimize conversion rate of Refer a Friend traffic - as our largest traffic source.


You will work with this new team, as well as our tight-knit engineering team in Berlin, on our collection of APIs and microservices, written in PHP, Golang, and Python.


Our teams are cross-functional, so you'll be rubbing shoulders with frontend, product, UX, mobile, and QA, and as a senior member of the team you'll be taking responsibility for our entire platform, its architecture, and our suite of microservices.    As we evolve our backend systems towards Microservices and Event-sourced paradigms, our engineers have been increasingly using Go for its speed, concurrency, and low learning curve


Requirements: 



  • BS degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Management Information Systems, or a related field required

  • 3+ years' experience using PHP and/or 1+ years using Golang 

  •  Understanding of various design patterns, SOLID principles, and DDD, as well as how and when to use these concepts in PHP and/or Go


Additionally:



  • Experience with relational (MySQL, Postgres) and non relational (MongoDB) databases

  • Testing mindset (unit, integration, & functional) - we're still forming the team in NYC so many of our QA engineers are an ocean away, which means it's up to you to ensure services' stability

  • Continuous integration / deployment expertise (we use Concourse CI)

  • Prior experience with distributed systems and microservices a big plus (protobuf / gRPC, opentracing)

  • DevOps expertise highly desirable (Docker and Kubernetes a huge plus!)


Our team is diverse, high-performing and international, helping us to create a truly inspiring work environment in which you will thrive!
